The Espresso Report — Home espresso machines, grinders & coffee gear

About The Espresso Report

The Espresso Report covers home espresso: machines, grinders, accessories, and the beans that run through them. It's written for the reader stepping up from drip or pods as much as the hobbyist comparing prosumer machines, and its headline advice is unusually blunt for the category — buy the grinder first.

Its transparency is structural rather than merely stated. Specifications are traced back to manufacturer documentation, and where a spec isn't published the site declares the gap instead of filling it with guesswork. Prices pull live from Amazon's API with a timestamp, and figures older than 48 hours are removed rather than shown stale. Every product carries a "Researched, not used" badge: the scores are editorial judgment, and the site says so plainly rather than implying a test lab it doesn't have.

That last commitment is the one that best explains how Type 5 Marketing operates. Admitting what you haven't done costs a little in the short term and buys credibility that lasts — the same trade we make across the portfolio. The brand earns through disclosed Amazon Associates links, labels them at the point of use, and runs no sponsored placements.

The Espresso Report is owned and operated by Type 5 Marketing LLC and applies our shared review methodology and affiliate disclosure. It reflects our affiliate marketing capability in practice.
